Hello. I am an Officer in Florida, 33 years old female married mother like Officer Ripatti. I watched Extreme Makeover tonight..and it moved myself and my family.
In the line of work we do you never know what your shift holds...
But as far as life..it is what you make it..just watching Kristina and her husband I KNOW she will walk again..she is an inspiration, even all the way across the country in Florida. Thank you my fellow sister in blue..for your bravery and your will to live and your sacrifice. God Bless you and your family.
YOU DESERVED EVERY BIT OF THAT HOME..live love and laugh in it..
Your daughter will be able to grow in that home..and know that her parents and heroes.
Take care and LAPD..I saw nothing but a class act on t.v. be safe everyone
